Athenry Senior hurlers got their Championship campaign back on track with a hard earned victory over neighbours Abbeyknockmoy at Loughrea. Athenry owe their win to a blistering start which saw Cian Burke rifle the ball to the Abbey net and Cillian Lawless get on the end of a Burke cross to open up a seven point lead.However they failed to capitalise on this and Abbeyknockmoy gradually reduced the deficit to three points at the break. Two points apiece from Ronan Hardiman and Cian Burke put daylight between the sides entering the final quarter, but Abbeyknockmoy outscored Athenry by five points to one nearing the finish and it took an excellent Tom Flynn goal to seal the issue for the men in maroon.
